Lerac watched on, astonished. Malum seemed mildly interested.

"I'm... dead," Tors said. Her form began dissolving in wisps of shadow. She looked down at herself, seeming to see despite her destroyed eyes. "How did you do this?"

Wynn looked at her hands (which were dripping with Shadow) in confusion. "Did I do this? Shadows can be unpredictable at times, but... Hang on. Malum, is this a trick?"

Just now, The Aspiring Archivist said:

She slowly looked up, revealing a face of fine features. The eyes were gouged out. "Wynn..."

It was Tors' voice.

Wynn took a step back, confused. "...Tors?"

And that's it for tonight. Bye!

There was a shock of energy, and the weapon flashed blue, then turned back to white. Out of the shadow, the form of a woman appeared, with bright blue hair, cloaked in black, head down.

Who? What?

Just now, The Aspiring Archivist said:

"No! What are you going to do? I won't leave you."

"I'm going to end him by any means necessary." Wynn picked up Tors gingerly. Come on, please be alive. She tried feeding a small burst of Shadow to the weapon, not daring to hope. 

1 minute ago, The Aspiring Archivist said:

He grunted, but did not seem particularly affected. Tors lay on the ground, still whole but devoid of color. "Really? I think you can tell, Wynn. It's there. It will consume you."

Lerac was no longer coughing. "What? I think he's bluffing. I'm not even sick anymore."

She growled at Malum. "No need to state the obvious. But for now, I am in possession of myself. If this is my last chance for all time, then I'm going to make the most of it. I'll start by killing you."

Wynn turned to Lerac. "Good. Now get away. I don't want you getting hurt."

Clinic: Infirmary

Malum hit Wynn in the arm with the corruption bolt. "Well now. This isn't too good for you."

Lerac stood up, coughing. "Wynn! What did he do?"

Wynn grinned. "Don't worry, Lerac. Mr. God of Destruction here doesn't know how to use his weapon properly."

It's done, Justitia. I hope you're happy.

With a quick movement, she stabbed Malum with the fragment of Stacis.

5 hours ago, The Aspiring Archivist said:

Suddenly, the blue color of Tors' crystal drained to a pure white and she became much heavier. Malum's screams stopped... and then were replaced by laughter.

"Not enough. Not quite enough." Malum reformed out of the remaining energy, but he didn't finish, one of his arms and part of his shoulder and face missing with purple light emitting from the openings. The corruption bolt formed in his hand.

Wynn gritted her teeth, knowing what was coming but unable to do anything about it.

Tors, are you alive? She dropped the weapon and picked up a chuck of Stacis that didn't fit into the circle's pattern- something she had prepared in advance. 

Justitia, I sure hope you know what you're doing.

3 minutes ago, The Aspiring Archivist said:

His screams resumed, and the energy backed as far away from her as it could, flying up in an attempt to escape her reach.

That was no escape. The circle flared to life, trapping the energy. Wynn continued her unrelenting attack.

1 hour ago, The Aspiring Archivist said:

The energy stopped abruptly. "What have you done now?"

"Stacis crystal in a witch's circle. Now die."

Wynn lunged with Tors.

13 hours ago, The Aspiring Archivist said:

The escaping energy paid little heed to the Shadow as Malum's physical form seemed to burn away.

@Ranryu

No! Wynn suddenly remembered- the circle. With a strain of effort, she pulled the Stacis circle into the clinic, dimensions overlapping for a split second. 

"You aren't getting away that easily!"

Thank y'all so much!!! I love the music from this show, and want to just have fun recording them all. 

What's y'all's favorite tracks from the show?

For nostalgic reasons, "Lots of Me". 

2 minutes ago, The Aspiring Archivist said:

I have sworn to no rules!

The energy continued flowing away, slowly but surely.

"By your existence, you have sworn oaths. By your actions, you have broken them. Without justice, there is chaos."

Wynn wove a net of Shadow to catch the energy.

And that's it for tonight. I'll try to be on during the school day, if possible.

Just now, The Aspiring Archivist said:

He let out an unearthly scream. Wisps of energy began floating away, escaping the attack.

Wynn brandished Tors in an arc, attempting to strike as much of the energy as possible.

"Malum, as an avatar from the court of unaligned gods, I am here to bring you to justice. You have broken too many rules- rules you were bound to follow. It is Justitia's command that you understand your wrongdoing before I destroy you."

2 minutes ago, The Aspiring Archivist said:

He turned to her, bright eyes widening in fear. "How... I killed you!"

N-No. Not yet.

Hang in there, Tors. Let's try and make this quick.

She jabbed Tors at Malum with the speed of a flitting Shadow.

Just now, The Aspiring Archivist said:

Don't know.

Tors fell into her hand, feeling unusually weighty.

Tell me if anything changes. 

She turned to Lerac. "I'll keep the energy feed going, but it'll cut out if I get hit too hard. Try to take it easy until we find you an alternate energy source. Ciao."

With that, she ran at Malum full speed, Shadows writhing. Here goes... the future.

Just now, The Aspiring Archivist said:

He's been--- breaking. Losing myself.

What can I do?

2 minutes ago, The Aspiring Archivist said:

A voice finally could be heard, sounding twisted and broken.

W-Wynn? Is that---

Tors!? What's going on?

"I'm... I'm sorry. I've never seen this before."

We just need a magical energy source ASAP. Anything untainted should do."

Just now, The Aspiring Archivist said:

"I don't know. I'll try."

Tors gave no response. She hadn't spoken in many hours.

"Sorry, give me a sec. Tors isn't responding." 

Tors? Yoo-hoo. You there?

Just now, The Aspiring Archivist said:

"Wynn, what if we can't find a permanent solution?" He wiped his eyes, clearing them. He looked across the room at the other encounter. "Is that... Malum?"

She followed his gaze.

"Um... yes. It is. Will you be good for a minute?" Tors? You ready?

Just now, The Aspiring Archivist said:

"Do you have a permanent solution?" His body momentarily seemed to reject the energy, and he began convulsing again for a few seconds before it Shadows reached him again.

"We need an energy source that you're compatible with. Doctor?"

@CalanoCorvus

Just now, The Aspiring Archivist said:

He began breathing normally again. "That... really hurts."

Wynn kept a steady stream of Shadows flowing. "It should. Your body isn't designed to withstand altered energy forms such as Shadow. This is only a temporary solution."

Her head was still swirling with how close that had been, but she kept a calm face.

1 minute ago, The Aspiring Archivist said:

He gasped as the energy hit him, and his breathing resumed normally for a moment. "I..."

Wynn seized the small hope, abandoning all reason and logic. Arcs of Shadow rained onto him.

1 minute ago, The Aspiring Archivist said:

"Or none of those." Another blast of energy knocked her back.

"I... I..." His breathing grew shallow, and his eyes began to glaze over.

Desperately, she shocked him with a burst of Shadow energy. "No..." She sobbed. "Not again. NOT AGAIN!"

2 minutes ago, The Aspiring Archivist said:

"Wynn..." Lerac's eyes filled with tears, and he stared up at her. The flower began to wilt.

"No! No no nonononono..." She squeezed him tighter. "Don't leave. Please don't leave me."

1 minute ago, The Aspiring Archivist said:

He began coughing and gagging more violently, then convulsing.

She held him tight, knowing there was nothing she could do. She hated herself for it.

Is this the benefit of my deal? Power is useless if it can't save the one I love! The only way... a load of crap. THIS IS NOT ALLOWED TO HAPPEN!
